“…tert-Butyl 4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-4-phenylbutyl(methyl)carbamate (23). Compound 21 30 (65 mg, 0.36 mmol) and phenol (102 mg, 1.09 mmol) via the procedure for 22, Step 1, provided a mixture of 4-(4-(methylamino)-1-phenylbutyl)phenol and 2-(4-(methylamino)-1-phenylbutyl)phenol. This mixture of was treated with Boc 2 O (38 mg, 0.17 mmol) in CH 3 CN (2 mL), heated for 2 min at reflux, cooled, concentrated, and directly chromatographed, eluting with a gradient of 1:1 to 0:1 hexane/[9:1 CH 2 Cl 2 /EtOAc] to provide 23 as the more polar isomer.…”
